: I found a toroise and noticed that his or her leg had been injured. The scales on one of his legs was hanging off (about a square inch). Does this animal need vet attention or will it heal on his own. It doesnt seem to be a fresh wound and doesnt look infected or anything. Thank you for any help. Mike

Hummm, tough decision. Are you going to keep him or release him. Eather way I would personally feel better about takeing him to a REPTILE vet and seeing what they have to say.Yes, it will cost you some money but it will be your good deed to the turtle and he will always be grateful. Good luck and let us know what you decide to do. Dawn
